As someone who works in a similar space to what Brave/BAT is trying to do... I would like to point out that it’s very easy to sign people up to receive payments in your scheme.
It’s another thing to (1) get users to actually use your system the way you want them to and (2) get publishers to base their revenue model, at least in part, around your system.
I am not really impressed by these numbers because they do not include any usage statistics of BAT itself and there are no examples of it actually helping publishers.
That said, they are setting out to do something very difficult so we should respect what progress they have made.
